I cannot believe de Blasio wants to put the very well-regulated horse and carriage business in the dumper, thereby throwing who knows how many small business people out of work (I thought he liked the little guy/gal).

Hey De Blasio, horses pull carriages. That's what they like to do. When is the last time one of these horses was hit by a car?

Check out this old New York City photo of horses and buggies waiting at the Cunard dock.

Don't you have anything better to do than complain about the mayor? I'm starting to wonder if you are being paid by Rupert Murdoch to continue this constant barraging of DeBlasio.

There was a major thread about the carriage horses a few months back. Humane treatment of animals, business ppl in the unemployment line, slaughterhouses in Mexico etc. It's all there.

I don't really care one way or another about this....but his comments to the news stations were pretty comical when asked if he would take Liam nesson up on taking a tour.....he said something about the people of New York already decided this when they voted for him and his platform of this he ran on.
If people are voting for a mayor for one of the most important international cities in the world based on his view of horse carriages.....well, it would make me question the constitutional right that everyone should have a vote....

If he does something really stupid, why not?

But I am the first to slap down people who say that murder and all types of crime in NYC are going to skyrocket, and that we are heading back to the dark days of the 1970's. We are not.

Feel better?

I'm surprised you haven't spammed the board with random photoshopped pictures of him. Do you have his pic attached to your dartboard or punching bag?

What a surprise..YET ANOTHER anti-Deblasio thread by the nutjob rubygreta. I tend to agree with AMSS...rubygreta is probably a paid blogger by right wing extremists Rupert Murdoch, the Koch Brothers, the Heritage Foundation, or other such fanatical right wingers. God forbid a liberal Mayor is elected in liberal NYC! Who knew! The end of the world is coming!

Move on rubygreta..we know you are either bought and paid for by the nutjobs or you are a nutjob.
